Pro Feature
Rebinding keyboard shortcuts (Settings → Shortcuts) requires the NuvoPad Pro upgrade ($9.99 one-time payment). Free users will see an upgrade prompt when accessing this feature.
Rebinding Shortcuts
With NuvoPad Pro, every default shortcut in the table above can be reassigned to any key combination. Open Settings → Shortcuts to see all bindings. Click any row, then press the new key combination to reassign it. Conflicts with existing bindings are flagged inline.
📝 Note
Binding changes take effect immediately without restarting the app. If you reassign a shortcut to a combination already in use, the original action is unbound.
